First time at the track with the auto

First time at the track with the auto *video added*

Finally got to go to the track with the auto. Details on the car 98 cobra built motor d1sc 15 lbs full interior fr500 all around with 335/35/17 hoosiers. Didn't use the trans brake or lock up just foot braked it off the line. I don't have a cage so I knew my night was limited. Ran a few easy runs first

run #1 on the brakes
1.652
6.891
105.18
11.407
87.50
oops glad they
didn't boot me

run #2 on the brakes
1.734
6.968
103.43
11.647
82.75

run #3 on the brakes hot lap
1.647
6.891
102.52
11.645
79.97
Run #4 ran all out and got booted
1.638
6.823
106.24
10.672
125.83


Overall I am happy considering it has plenty left in it with the transbrake 2 step and some bigs and littles it should go good. I thought I would have a little more mph though lock up will help that.

oh yea lol

I am happy I know it has more in it. Time to do some safety equipment now and get a two step and thinking of upping the boost a bit more. I want to try to use the hoosiers as long as I can I just like the fact of driving it there and back with just airing down and up and I'm gone. Traction was not an issue but I was only able to powerbrake it to 2000 rpms next time we will see how they like the transbrake. My guess is not too much.

auto is the only way to go if you want to have some serious and consistent e.t.'s

OP great job in total street trim, although i don't know why the mph on the big end is off in comparison to your 1/8 mph. 106 in the 1/8 you should've been well into the 130's in the 1/4 unless you were on the brakes in the end of that run. and you're nuts if you think a street tire is going to hold up to a transbreak launch lol. good luck your next time out though, thats a very fast car you have there.

I really thought my mph on the big end was off too. When I had a stick in it it usually picked up 30 mph on the big end. I know the tune is set up really safe maybe it hurt since its in top gear so long also I didn't lock the converter which would have helped since the converter is pretty loose.

I can't imagine trying to run a 30 inch tire. I only have 3.73 in the rear talk about killing my gearing lol

yea my car with the 4r picked up 26-28 out the back but w/ the c4 I only get 24-25.

does the car pull timing when it gets hot?

To be honest I am not sure I didn't datalog anything. My next step is getting all the safety stuff done so I can make more than one pass at a time without getting booted.
